GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of elec-
tric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appli-
ance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot recepta-
cle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance, or. . . .
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
NOTES:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

17. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CON-
TAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce
the risk of injury to persons; 1) Do not overheat the liquid. 2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it. 3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 4) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. 5) Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.
19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.
20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheat-
ed. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant
coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid
several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

A. Circuits
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a
15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or
lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, con-
sult a licensed electrician.
B. Voltage Warning
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located on
the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.
Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in
a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage.
Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your
microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of
proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.
C. Placement of the Oven
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven
cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.
Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at
least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of
the oven for proper ventilation.
D. Do not block the air vents
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
E. Radio interference
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or
radio reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the
oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV
or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
USE
Ovenproof Glass
• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat
includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls
without metallic trim.
China
• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without
metallic trim can be used in your oven.
Plastic
• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that
the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not
touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the
plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.
• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish
and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of
the dish.
• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap.
This will allow excess steam to escape.
• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers, and plastic bags only for short time
cooking. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper
• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design can be used in your oven.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s label for use of any
paper product in the microwave oven.
DO NOT USE
Metal Utensil
• Metal shields food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,
thermometers, or foil trays.
• Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a
discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage
your microwave oven.
Metal Decoration
• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura™ Tableware
• The Corning Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle™
closed-handle cups for microwave
cooking.
Aluminum Foil
• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because
they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.
• Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings.
• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls
and door of the oven.
Wood
• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and
may split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.
Tightly Closed Containers
• Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure
to leave an opening for steam to escape from
covered cookware.
Brown Paper
• Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb
heat and could burn.
Metal Twist Ties
• Always remove metal twist ties as they can become
hot and cause a fire.
COOKWARE GUIDE
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware
before using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods
cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning
agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or
barbecue sauce.
COVERING
A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to
cook
more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wra
p with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed
paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do
not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for
more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more
slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish,
and
vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING
FOR DONENESS
Because
foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you
need
to test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TIME
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dish-
es
from overcooking, you may need to shield
them
with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves.
You can also cover poultry legs and
wing
tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always
keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to
prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce
the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking
to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require
piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs,
clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes
and squash.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.
They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water
with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are
clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
• The glass turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be
careful not
to chip or scratch the edges as this may
cause the
turntable to break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.
SPECIA
L CARE
For
best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and
the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease
buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse
and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough
pads.
After
cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR
to
clear any entries that might have been entered
accidentally
while cleaning the panel.
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from
2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of oven to finish
cooking after cooking
power shuts off. Outside of oven,

OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack-
age (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam
and juice close to the foods, which can cause the
outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape your ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.

Meat
1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be
prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before cook-
ing.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).
Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the
shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking.
The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.
Poultry
1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting
rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the
turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through the
cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a
tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony
parts.Turning during roasting helps to cook these
areas evenly.
6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking
before carving. The standing time is very important,
as it completes the cooking process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.
Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices
run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with
a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with
a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that
the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
